A nurse reads a discharge instruction to a Spanish-speaking patient. The interpreter translates “take with food” one way in the first paragraph, then renders it slightly differently by the third. The patient goes home unsure whether the pill needs a full meal or just a cracker. That gap, one term rendered two ways, isn’t a style quibble. It’s the kind of inconsistency that shows up in patient safety data, and it’s exactly why consistent terminology in translation deserves to be treated as a risk problem, not a proofreading afterthought.<\/p>\n
